Zimmerman vs. ATE plain rotors: Is there any real difference?

I'm about to get the A8 front brake upgrade from PureMS, and I have a choice of rotors. Is there any real difference between these two brands? Or should I just flip a coin? :-)

I got ATE just for the OE aspect. If you want real brakes, get the powerslots.
